C1: = A1
C2: =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(0,COUNTIF(C$1:C1,$A$1:$A$20&""), 0)),"",
INDEX(IF(ISBLANK($A$1:$A$20),"",$A$1:$A$20),MATCH( 0,COUNTIF(C$1:C1,$A$1:$A$2
0&""),0)))

which is an array formula, so commit with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, and copy doun

D1: = IF(C1="","",INDEX(B:B,MATCH(C1,A:A,0)))

and copy down

Hi,
is there a way of listing 1 of items that may be be in multiples in a
column?
example:

Column A Column B
1234 £5000
5644 £7600
1234 £5000
1234 £5000
6875 £7800

i have column a listed via data validation so the sum next to it will
always
read the same as any matching figure in the column. i only want it to list
the number once giving me:
1234 £5000
5644 £7600
6875 £7800

thanks in advance
